DANIEL J. SAUNDERS
B c 1772, Virginia, d prior 1830, Breckinridge Co., Ky.
m 10-23-1793 Campbell Co., Va. Martha Stith
b 5-8-1775 d 7-1-1843
The parents of Daniel J. Saunders are not known to us. Possibly father was named John and mother Rhoda? There was a J. Saunders signed as security for Lucy Hall Stith, executrix of the will of Richard Stith. The other securities were sons, or sons-in-law, so probably it was Martha's husband who signed.
Jan. 7, 1819 (Breck Co. Deed Bood D., p 396) Daniel J. Saunders bought from John B. Bibbs for $525 457 acres on Sinking Creek (Deed Book M., p 194) June 1, 1839 his heirs sold this land, now found to be only 418 acres, upon which Daniel J. Saunders, deceased, resided at his death, sold.
